I threw a Rod on my V6, and I want to do a Very easy swap to another v6 till I can afford my iroc

anyway, Its all siezed up, and the flywheel cannot rotate. We need to inorder to disconnect the tranny... I dont want to pull the tranny with it. My shop teacher told me a way that sounds wierd and I wanted to know if anyone else thought its a good Idea....

He said we could unbolt the 6 bell housing bolts and the engine mounts and whatever else on the engine, and then lift it just barely enough to get the engine over the steering, and then support the tranny with a jack, and lift engine, and slide it forward and the torque converter will just slide off the tranny and come out with the engine. It should spill ATF everywhere.

Does this sound like it will work to anyone else? My shop teacher is really smart, and he is sure it will be a good way.

Thanks for any opinions

 

yeah it'll work, people do it every day like that

 

So the torque converter just slides off easily? Or do I have to unbolt something there too?

Thanks!

 

yeah the torque converter just slides on the tranny. and it will spill alot of fluid so be ready.

 

cool. This means I can probally have my camaro working next week! I am happy! THanks

 

u could also remove one of the heads. have someone with a ratchet with a big pole on it turn the crank while u beat the piston down with big pipe and sledge.
atleast thats how i did it
